Getting my studio started.
Next time I visit 'home' in Dallas (more specifically 'burbs north of Dallas) I will be going to IKEA to get myself a desk. If production falls through completely I still have uses for the space, writing and running my small business which needs a good place as well.
I consider a proper workspace a starting point for a studio, as well as a chair to go along. A proper space is what I think will give me the most satisfaction. I have several disadvantages going into this, like not a whole lot of cash to burn. Also, I am tall 6'3/ 191 cm and wrecking my back producing on a couch or worse, on my bed which is no where near as sexy and fun as it sounds...
I am also out of the spacious home I grew up in and in an apartment (have been a few years but it was worse in a dorm up until this year). I am not happy about setting up a studio in a ephemeral space like an apartment where I will inevitably have to move everything....
If you care http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S99896735/ is what I am thinking about.
This post is purely egocentric. While it is serious, it has a tinge of 'whinyness' to it and I know it isn't important and there isn't much to respond to. One could suggest colors for the desk but choosing white knocks the price down 1/10 overall and white is my color anyway.
it's my dream to own one of these

So I am not the only one who obsesses over a desk... Makes me feel better.

It's a pretty desk you posted.
W/o being to graphic, I need to be able to get my legs under it well, and sit up straight without being hunched or having to have my arms stretched straight constantly while I work.

I'm not remotely kidding. Bolt this to a swivel/roller base and you will never again want to sit in anything else. Get it with the adjustable lumbar option. Not the cheapest seating option, but you will not find anything as comfortable and supporting at many times the price.
I miss it....
get the galant. Beats pretty much anything on price/quality ratio. I've got one for ovr 5yrs know and it still looks and functions great. The A styled legs are the cheapest option I think, I've got those too and they're just fine. Good thing is you can configure the height with either sets of legs, which is good for someone your length. The galant have been around for quite soom time now. I'm pretty sure it's their best selling desk. Also think about a proper desk chair. Ikea has one (forgot the name) which looks like this fancy leather chair. I got the big one of those (there is a small variety of it as well which one of my employers has, those suck), cost me 50euro's and still does great after 3 yrs (can sit in it for days without causing any pains). Cheapest proper desk chair I've found thus far.

| Originally posted by CalvP A good quality table & chair will definitely be a great start to your studio & arguably just as important as picking the right speakers etc - back pain is not a good motivator, nor is having your equipment in an awkward position! FWIW i have an older version of the Galant still going strong & i've just picked up the Markus which i'm really happy with too; although for a man of your stature i'd definitely try a few out in person. Good luck with it all |

They do indeed, but they are incredible. The support is off the charts. Go to MasterCraft's website to see how they are made. They are called a 'suspension' seat. Instead of just padding a hard surface, it's built like a hammok.
They are used in off-road race trucks and were designed for desert racing where you dont get up and are pounded for 1000 miles. Speaking from a racing and ownership experience, they work. VERY well.
Recaro used to (may still) offer their automotive seats as office chairs. It's not a new idea or anything. But with these, you do have to adapt your own swivel/tilt/roll base. More work, but again, worth the effort.
Plus you can get it custom upholstered to match your studio 
I definitely respect well crafted, quality things. I have a zen part to me and though I don't have much stuff I want in life, the price tag on the stuff I do could be very high. :P
